Tofu and Red Pepper Spread

Silken tofu blended into a creamy mixture along with red bell pepper is a great spread for crackers, bagels or bread. Cashews thicken the mixture and add their sweet, buttery flavor.

INGREDIENTS (for 2 servings):

1 (10 ounce) package silken tofu, drained

1 small red bell pepper

1/3 cup cashews

1/4 cup chopped onion

1 tablespoon prepared Dijon-style mustard

1 teaspoon soy sauce

PREPARATION:

Using a blender or food processor, thoroughly mix silken tofu, red bell pepper, cashews, onion, prepared Dijon-style mustard and soy sauce. Blend until smooth and creamy. Chill in the refrigerator 1 hour, or until thickened. Use more cashews to make the mixture thicker, if desired.
